Not really. This engine is unique to the 86 so Toyota actually has more experience with it than Subaru at this point, since they sold more copies. As mentioned ad nauseum here, the gasket seal is unique to this particular motor. While the recall covered more vehicles in general at Subaru (multiple models) the others all used real gaskets, not sealant.
I completely agree at this point if you haven't had it done, don't do it, but in the end the success of the repair is completely dependent on the care taken by the one mechanic working on the car. It has nothing to do with the logo on their shirt.
